After living a childhood filled with fear and violence, Delia tries to script out a perfect, successful life for herself as a wife and a nurse. However, the world is in the tumultuous grip of World War 2, and both Delia and Francis are called to duty.

Life intervenes and the machinations of war shape these two young people in ways they never thought possible. For Delia, lust and passion ignite a new fire within her, and she finds herself in the sensual embrace of an unconventional lover. Throwing caution and her preconceptions to the wind, Delia discovers a new world of carnal pleasure and personal satisfaction.

The war has not been as kind to Francis, and a devious plot is being born - born out of jealousy and a ravenous thirst for revenge.

Delia is a story about love...and hate.
